Tencent's High-Quality Growth Story Looks Intact -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-09

0431 GMT - Tencent's high-quality growth story is intact, Jefferies analysts say in a research note. Jefferies lowers Tencent's 3Q revenue growth estimate to 6.6% from 10% due to likely softer-than-expected social network revenue and macro headwinds hitting the online ads business. Tencent's 3Q online games revenue could increase about 12% on year, thanks to the full-quarter contribution from "Dungeon & Fighter Mobile" and strategies to rejuvenate existing games, they say. Despite the lowered revenue growth estimate, the analysts reckon adjusted 3Q net profit likely climbed 19%, roughly in line with their previous estimate of 20% growth. Jefferies maintains a buy call on Tencent and keeps its target at HK$540.00. Shares are last at HK$438.00. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
